Reflection and transmission from periodic composite structures of circular cylinders - refinement of reflectance and transmittance

摘要

The reflection and transmission of electromagnetic plane waves from multilayered periodic arrays of two-dimensional composite cylindrical objects is analyzed, using the lattice sums formula and the T-matrix for cylindrical structures. It is shown that when the array of cylindrical objects is multilayered or embedded in a dielectric slab, the frequency response in the reflectance and transmittance is noticeably refined through a multiple scattering process of the space-harmonics.
